Red Shutters

I made this card for an 81 year old friend who recently gave us a gift - she's heading off to China in three weeks to visit friends and went to Israel last year! She's an inspiration - I hope I have as much "get up and go" when I'm her age!

I ran over the embossed bg with a Ranger Distress ink pad and popped up the window in various layers after coloring with copics. Afterwards I thought it would have been more dimensional to make the curtains a separate layer - note to self for next time!

The outside edges of the window and shutters image have been sponged just to add a bit of definition and dimension.

I've got more ideas for using this window and shutters image, but needed a quick card for the moment!

About Me

Originally from Alaska in the
U.S., I've lived in the U.K.
since I married a Northern
Irishman over 30 years ago!
We have two grown
sons still living with us.
I love paper crafting
and especially creating cards
with Bible verses to encourage
those who receive them! I
also love to make cards with
themes of friendship and humour.
